Description

How comes the location field of function code objects is not required but only recommended? I though it was used to match against function call events? While the path might be recovered from the position of the function code object inside classMap, its line number is definitely lost.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the specification definitions for function code objects, function call events, the location field, and classMap. Determine the intended explicit key between these objects and document the required fields and matching behavior; the specification should make the association unambiguous and preserve the function's line number.
